Life is going just dandy... no complaints. 3 cheers for summer eh? Bout time it showed up. 2 weekends ago it was POURING rain, sleet, and snow flurries. Last weekend was 85 degrees and lovely out.
Delaware is so fuckin wierd. *shrug*
Going to see TooL in concert, along with Michael Franti/Spearhead and Stringcheese Incedent, along with approx 50 other bands in a 4 day camping event in late July. It's called Bonnaroo, or somesuch nonsense. 4 days of camping in the hills of Tennessee and listening to more music than you can shake a stick at.
I'm going mostly for TooL and aforementioned groups. TooL fuckin rules.Estrogen Induced:  calm Da Tunes: Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love (music video) |

They have officially run out of good ideas for movies. This movie for example, just goes to show how desperate they are for new material.
LOL... (no pun intended)
the sequel would be "BRB the movie" where the actors leave the set, and at the end of the film, the actors come back. 2.5 hours of an empty set on video. With of course the occassional janitor mopping in the background.Estrogen Induced: amused |

Here we go, getting me on my soapbox...
Todays Topic: The Film Industry
I was speaking with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) captnblake on AIM today, and she mentioned a movie soon to release. She said, "...they have this new one coming out about a guy who wants to break up with his girl friend, but shes a super hero..."
That movie sounds like a load of rubbish!
Like I was telling Sarah, Hollywood has lost almost all it's origionality. I suppose this was bound to happen, only so many different things can happen in a 2 hour span of time. Film quality will only continue to degrade. There is always the fallback: Girl meets boy, they share some quirky circumstance, the protagonist, the antagonist, the "near end of film tradgedy" that threatens to tear the 2 young, overly sexed, couple apart, only to be reunited at the end and live happily ever after- often times with children in perfect little Pseudo-American Dream families that never exist in reality.
Slap some crude inuendo and pranks in there for the guys, some cushy cuddly sentimental crap for the girls, a dash of human element (optional) and --- VIOLA! You have a "good" movie.
There are basic elements to making a movie these days:
Adults
Throw violence, selective nudity, sexual encounters, bad language and perverted humor into a pot and you have a movie that will score at the box office, no matter how crappy the plotline. Don't forget your memorable 1 liner!
Kids
Childrens movies have made many advances... graphically, but the plotline is similar to those of the adult films, minus the overboard gratuitous nature that attracts the adult population. Still, perversion must be infiltrated into kids movies. Movies like Shrek are lots of fun, but do potentially offer children up to more adult themes than are healthy at times. I dont support sheltering of children 100% (as I was) but some topics are best not introduced around children AT ALL, even subliminally. If a child sees mom and dad laughing at something they do not understand, they will emulate their parents and laugh along.
Don't whine to me when you see your kids at school talking about stroking rods, completely oblivious to what that means. Take some goddamn responsibility.
Oh and another thing...
Good graphics sell. No matter what movie it is, throw intense CGI into a movie, and its cinematic gold! If you don't believe this to be true, watch the second Matrix film.
The Source :
The cause for the lack of deep intuitive movies is easy. Our society has not evolved 1 day past the Colosseum. If you think it has, you're severely misguided. We've just found faster, better, more technologically advanced ways to kill, and more exciting ways to bring that decadence to the silver screen to entertain the masses. For a society so hellbent on abandoning the barbaric nature of our past, our "civilized age" certainly manages to remain espoused to that which we try "so hard" to erradicate.
My Recommendation
There are good movies that I have seen recently, ones that entertain the mind:
Mirrormask (it has heavy use of CGI, but an AWESOME delivery of a great message)
7 Years in Tibet
Solaris
What Dreams May Come
Devils Rejects (a survival horror/slasher that brings REAL human element to the whole film)
Party Monster (about the beginning of the Rave scene - true story)
if you have suggestions for films that deviate outside the normal bounds of cinematic redundancy, I would be happy to watch them. Your opinions are valued.
Thanks for listening!

God I hate Jason. The fucker chirps me, to ask how often Sarah has been at the house. Uh. WTF?
Next time that goddamn selfish cocksucker asks me about Sarah, Im gonna ask him how much his fuckslut Lynn has been at the fucking house. Probably more than Sarah. I almost fucking guarentee it.
Jason hasn't seen Sarah in WEEKS! We've made doubly SURE of it. We've been sneaking her around so he doesnt have to deal with her. It's been a pain, but we've been doing it FOR HIM!
She's been around every day, but not more than for a couple hours. She's not there when Im at work, and when I get home from work, she has to work for 8 hours. She's usually there for like MAYBE 3-5 hours. Tops.
FUCK.
I can't wait to go.
Jason gave me an out, to bail from living with him. Apparently Lynn wants to move in. Must be convienent to have a fuckbuddy living in the house. He claims to hate her, yet he's pretty much encouraging me to leave so he can have her move in. Two faced motherfucker.
He never asked ME if *I* wanted to see Lynn around, and until now, Ive kept my goddamn mouth shut. Next time he says a peep about Sarah, Im going to tell him where to fucking shove it.
She lives out of her goddamn car for fucks sake. Living with Derlwin didn't pan out, so she's essentially homeless for now. He doesnt give a fuck. He's an ass.
